Chapter 60: Ancient Scholars

"So, in the end, it was the Duke of Abraham who solved the disaster, and we were in charge of putting the finishing touches on it?"

Crane touched his chin and said with some confusion. Archbishop Anthony, who was sitting across from him, nodded and gave the exact answer:

"That's right."

"I didn't expect him to be able to use the 'Picture Scroll of God' perfectly - this archbishop of the Storm Church is much more powerful than we imagined, even if he has the blood of 'Abraham', he can use the seal of Sequence 2 so easily, he is at least an earthly angel."

Is he just an angel...... Klein muttered to himself. Moreover, things that resemble oil paints are not like the power of the "door" pathway.

…… Don't you dare, didn't the High Dimensional Seeker say that he was unwilling to use his power on this planet? Or is it His way of concealing Himself with the help of extraordinary objects? Actually, he's about the same as me, and the power he uses isn't too strong, but the effect he achieves with the help of his personality is terrifying?

Klein thought carefully about the multiple disguises that the High-Dimensional Overlook had done in Beckland, and felt that he still had to learn from him to save his life and make a false identity. Although he is not the old days of the mysterious three paths, he is more skilled in "fate replacement", "tampering with history", and "identity replacement" than Amun.

Thinking about it this way, if you are an enemy of this guy, it feels even more dangerous than Amon - no matter how evil Amon is, he is just a king of angels, and this guy is a real ......

Klein laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart: "I've been with the gods for a long time, why don't I even think the King of Angels is not dangerous now?"

However, in reality, Klein still feels more dangerous to hide his identity in front of the "Storm Lord" and Adam, and dare to repeatedly jump sideways to do things in Beckland.

Unlike Amun, who "all people are Him", the high-dimensional overlooking beings seem to be everywhere, playing the identities that appear out of thin air, but the body is high in the sky, quietly watching everyone.

Thinking about it carefully, Klein really felt that his fellow countrymen—or rather, the seniors of the traversers, all had special skills. The true Creator once led mankind out of an age, and the Goddess of the Night hid in secrecy to establish the Church.

In contrast, Huang Tao, who blew himself up with the help of high-dimensional overhead and his own communication (of course, Klein didn't know that this was Huang Tao's forced self-explosion), although he was relatively crotch-pulling, he also established the Intis Empire, and achieved the god position of "Black Emperor" under the name of "Russell Gustav".

Putting aside his thoughts, Klein turned his head to look at Archbishop Anthony in front of him, he lowered his voice and said to Archbishop Anthony:

"Archbishop Anthony, I have now finished digesting the 'Sophist's potion, I would like to apply for one of the materials of the 'Ancient Scholars', the flocculent heart of the Wolf of the Mist, and I would like to request supporting materials and detailed historical documents that can be used by the 'Ancient Scholars'."

Anthony Stevenson was visibly stunned for a moment - he vaguely remembered that Klein had just become a "soothsayer" two years ago, and had become a "sophist" half a year ago, and now he was about to be promoted to Sequence 3 in less than half a year?

It's terrifying...... The same is true of Russell the Great, who invented the word, it is terrifying...... Thinking about the age at which he was promoted to the third sequence, Archbishop Anthony couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth slightly, and subconsciously sighed:

"Is this the speed at which the goddess's favored favorites are promoted......

Soon, Archbishop Anthony realized his gaffe and kept silent. He pulled a form from the paper beside him and shoved it in front of Klein. He opened his mouth, but still said:

"Don't force it."

"For a demigod, the speed at which you digest potions is very abnormal, too fast, too fast. At a normal pace, even if you're in good shape, you'll only be able to digest half of the potions at most - even though you've been promoted to the Goddess's oracle, I still think you can wait a few days and confirm your status before getting promoted. ”

Although Anthony didn't know how Klein performed the rituals of the "ancient scholars" that were almost impossible to complete in a short period of time, he still chose to believe in the goddess - the promotion ceremony was not impossible, and with the approval of the gods, Anthony did not mention it again.

Klein nodded firmly:

"There's not enough time."

He only mentioned it vaguely, and Anthony said no more—both were smart men, and he knew Crane's nature. Obviously, it was an event that required Klein to be promoted before this point in time, and the part that couldn't be said much was obviously "secret".

He nodded, and walked to the church's warehouse—the materials for Sequence 3 needed to be picked up by Archbishop Anthony himself, and it was so heavily guarded that only the archbishop in charge of a diocese could enter.

However, before leaving, Archbishop Anthony finally paused:

"The goddess has passed down the oracle, and during the promotion process, the goddess will give you corresponding protection, and you don't have to worry about whether it will affect the surrounding area when you are promoted."

……

Crane's body appears above the gray mist and accepts his own "sacrifice".

Seeing the flocculent heart appear in front of him, Crane took a deep breath and waved his hand, and the figures of two "Fugen dogs" suddenly appeared beside him.

As if they knew what Crane needed, they rubbed Crane's leg affectionately, and an eye like a dark red flame slowly fell off each dog's face and fell into Crane's hand; There was also a lot of blood, which slowly condensed into a ball under their control, floating in front of Crane.

This is the pair of eyes of the Fugen Dogs and the blood in their bodies, which are the main and auxiliary materials of potions, respectively; These puppies took the initiative to give half of their extraordinary characteristics to Crane, as if they knew that Crane had finished digesting the "Sorcerer".

Generally speaking, if you want to obtain a pair of eyeballs from the Fugen Dog, you first need to find the Fugen Dog, and the Fugen Dog is also known as the Source Fort Warden, and only a small number of Fugen Dogs will appear in the spirit world.

Therefore, if the average "sophist" wants to be promoted to "ancient scholar", he must find the location of the Fugen dogs that haunt the spirit world through various means, and then hunt them to obtain their eyeballs.

Otherwise, it is to rob other "ancient scholars" of their extraordinary characteristics and "eat people" for promotion.

And now Klein has directly omitted this step of hunting, and can directly be promoted.

Seeing that his main materials were all gathered, Crane was silent for a moment. After sealing the box with it, a bestowal ceremony was set up to return the materials to the real world.

After a while, he saw Archbishop Anthony come to him with several boxes, large and small.

"Be careful."

Archbishop Anthony solemnly reminded him again, and Klein just nodded and took a deep breath, as if preparing for the upcoming potion concoction. Promoted to the third sequence of the "Ancient Scholar" may prompt him to further merge with the Source Castle, which may cause some anomalous phenomena, and because of this, he needs a relatively safe place to carry out his promotion.

Moreover, even if the high-dimensional overlooking person said that the Celestial Venerable would not awaken before the angel, Klein was still afraid that this deity who was once at the top of the sequence would leave some means in his body.

Walking into a secret room, Crane recited the name of the Goddess of the Night. After only a few seconds, Klein felt a hazy cloud around him, and the image in front of him was like a filter used to take a photo.

But the filter soon disappeared into Crane's eyes, and a fluttering phrase came to his ear:

"Don't worry."

It seems that the Goddess is going to give me shelter in the church, after all, it is much safer than outside...... It's in the church, after all.

In the blink of an eye, Crane skillfully blended the potion, and then began to use the pendulum he had stored on the gray mist to divinate the potion he had just concocted.

Despite the danger of divination, Crane understood that the potion had been successfully concocted.

After all, the Sequence 3 potion itself can be considered a deadly poison.

Watching the potion in front of him take shape, Klein was silent for a long time and picked up the potion.

The potion was a dark red color, and as Crane's hands lifted, the potion slowly opened and floated into the air, like a dark red glow.

As he moved, the skin on his body gradually became transparent, and one after another curved worms squeezed out of his body.

Now that you have chosen this path, you should not hesitate to continue. Crane thought as he felt the icy liquid slip down his throat as he closed his eyes.

Each spirit worm on his body seemed to be squeezing outward, tearing a small piece from the potion that Crane had swallowed into his belly, the dark red potion was like a flame, making each spirit worm feel as if it was being burned by the flames.

In the pain of his body burning down, Crane felt his spirit rising upwards, and he saw a faint gray-white mist enveloping his spirit.

A gray-white light cocoon that was completely dropped on the source fort revealed Zhou Mingrui's face, which was the hanging "Zhou Mingrui". When Klein saw this light cocoon, he seemed to understand what the essence of the harsh ritual of "three hundred years out of the real world" was.

This ritual is to remove the distractions of the real world for him, and help him position himself in the fog of history, so that he will not be completely lost in the fog of history in the process of promotion.

In the process of promotion, his body will inevitably take another step towards the mythical creature, and at that time, the instinct of the mythical creature will inevitably make him wander unconsciously in the fog of history.

One after another Fugan's dogs appeared beside Crane, and they surrounded Crane's spirits and shuttled through the history he knew, and one after another points of light hidden in the gray mist were lit up, and one image after another appeared in front of Crane's eyes.

Onward, onward, onward!

Crane saw Russell Gustav resurrect and die again, and saw Alista Tudot detonate a strange red object, nearly causing the horrific and destructive Red to take all the gods with him.

Time seemed to flow back to Klein's eyes in a backward and forward trend, and the moment he saw the secret of Arista Tudor, Crane realized that the fragments that he could see now that had been lit up were the history he knew, the secrets he knew.

Time is still going on.

Crossing the Fifth Age, Crane saw the pale plague of the Fourth Age set off by the Grim Reaper and the witch, and the history that flowed through the accounts of books and the accounts of others was not as cruel as the scenes presented directly.

Just when Klein saw it with his own eyes and understood what it meant to be ruined. The things that appeared before his eyes were too terrifying, and the mad Grim Reaper and the seriously injured primordial witch were causing disaster after disaster, bringing unprecedented havoc to the gods and people.

He watched dynasties decay and change in the War of the Four Emperors, saw a god and angel emerge and fall, and the more Crane walked along the gray mist, the narrower the path around him became—knowing so little about the earlier era Crane that there were fewer and fewer pieces of history for him to explore ahead.

However, Crane felt like he was "becoming one" with the potion; Soon, Klein felt like an "ancient scholar."

Farther on, he saw an extremely tiny point of light. Although this point of light is small, at a glance, this point of light has an extremely terrifying attraction for him.

What is that?

Crane subconsciously continued to lean forward, and saw the light point gradually enlarged in front of his eyes, presenting a familiar and even somewhat frightening scene for Crane.

A chubby young man sits in front of a computer, waving his hands on the keyboard in front of him; It was all wrapped in a gray cocoon of light, silently falling into an endless gray mist.

If the previous image represents the essence of the ritual, then what exactly is this image?

Is it the scene when Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun captured me in the Source Fort?

Crane was thinking a little confused, feeling that he was gradually grasping the potion he had just taken, when he heard a mild, somewhat maniacal laugh.

He saw a hand appear in front of him.
